IT’S been a year many would like to forget, though others will remember it more kindly.

Marie Lo Casio, Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood

Centre (CHNC) Coordinator, said the Bright Sparks learning club, run in partnership with The Smith Family, was unable to meet as usual this year

because of COVID restrictions.

The learning group normally offers a supported learning and homework space for primary and

high school students, with volunteer tutors from many backgrounds.

“Due to the restrictions we weren’t able to have the

primary school children this year so decided to pilot a program focusing on high CONTINUED Page 2

“Numbers were limited because of spacing requirements so the group only had seven students, ranging from Years 7 to 12.

“High school students have been disadvantaged more this year because of COVID and so some brand-new volunteer tutors came on board.

“We received a grant to purchase laptops, which meant the students had a better learning environment because some of them

“It was a learning curve for some of the tutors with PowerPoint presentations and high level assignments, but they hung in there and the Big Sparks program was so successful we’re going to run it again next year,” Marie said.

Making Christmas happen for farming families AUSSIE Helpers is calling on everyday Australians to help make Christmas feasible for hundreds of farming families around Australia by purchasing hampers of essential goods.

The economic burden of years of drought coupled with a crippling pandemic means many farming families are facing the very real prospect of skipping Christmas due to financial stress.

Aussie Helpers CEO Tash Kocks said that this year had proven to be one of the most gruelling for farmers already struggling to make ends meet.

“Aussie farmers have battled seasonal labour shortages, volatile commodity prices, international trade tensions and recession all

the while recovering from devastating bushfires and one of the longest droughts in living memory,” Ms Kocks said.

“Farmers keep our fridges and pantries full but sometimes struggle to feed themselves.

“It’s heartbreaking the dire reality of their situations.”

With support from Woolworths and Real Pet Food, Aussie Helpers’ Christmas hampers are filled with everyday pantry essentials and a few festive treats to ensure isolated farming families can celebrate the festive season.

“In 2019 we wanted to make Christmas as special as it could be, but this year we just want to make sure that

farmers can simply celebrate Christmas at all,” Ms Kocks said.

“At Aussie Helpers, every dollar and every hour volunteered helps Aussie farmers in need.

“By purchasing a hamper this year, you’re giving farmers more than just groceries and treats. “You’re also telling them they are important and valued.”

Last year the Aussie Helpers Christmas campaign delivered more than 1,000 hampers to farmers all over Australia.

“I’m constantly in awe of the Australian spirit we see shine through no matter how bad it gets but this festive season if we can dig deep it will make a real difference to

q

Australians at the heart of our country,” Ms Kocks said.

The hampers are available at $50 and $100 dollars and

Concerns after privacy breach

By Miles PROUST

MISSION Australia has accidentally leaked the personal details of more than 1400 housing tenants from the Mid North Coast in what is being called a massive privacy breach.

In an email viewed by Coffs Coast News Of The Area, Mission Australia attached a document containing the names, addresses, emails and phone numbers of tenants to an email addressed to residents warning of upcoming

severe weather.

One tenant who asked to remain anonymous said the privacy breach could have severe implications for residents who have escaped domestic violence or child abuse if the personal information was to be accessed by perpetrators.

News Of The Area spoke to two tenants about the privacy leak, both of whom were upset about the breach.

“I don’t have any issues with hiding from people, but there’s going to be a lot who

do,” said one tenant.

“If it leaks out, it’s going to be really really bad, there could be perpetrators who are out there that have not been jailed and are in the housing system somewhere and might be able to find people through this.”

In a followup email, Mission Australia asked recipients to delete the leaked information and to confirm when they had done so.

“I think it’s disgusting to be honest,” said another tenant.

“Myself and a few other people I know on the list have

escaped domestic violence or violent situations that have people looking for them to harm them,” they said.

Mission Australia’s General Manager Davina Lormas did provide an apology in the followup email but one tenant said the response was not good enough and that legal action was being considered.

“A very simple fix to this, that would have prevented this, is if Mission Australia had followed privacy laws,” they said.

“With documentation

like that, that has that many people’s details on it, (sic) it should have been password protected.”

In a statement provided to News Of The Area, Mission Australia apologised for the breach.

“Mission Australia is deeply sorry that this has occurred,” the statement said.

“We are in the process of contacting all affected tenants to provide support as needed. ”As always, we encourage our tenants to discuss anything with us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS WORK STARTS ON THE BYPASS

“We are working through regulatory requirements concerning the incident and have taken and will continue to take steps to improve and strengthen our internal controls to ensure this does not occur again in the future.”

It remains unclear how many tenants received the leaked information and if any further breaches have occurred.

If you are concerned about the privacy breach, you can contact Mission Australia on 1800 269 672.

Coffs Council secures Landmark Airport Lease Deal worth almost $500 million airport investments, which includes Sunshine Coast Airport, Darwin Airport, Alice Springs and Tennant Creek as part of their portfolio.

Coffs Harbour Airport will be their fifth aviation asset.

“With the total value of the partnership to the Coffs Harbour community sitting at almost half a billion dollars, this deal demonstrates that our airport is considered a high-quality asset with substantial growth potential,” Mr Beswick said. “We have secured a strong financial outcome that exceeds both the pre-COVID valuations provided by two independent experts when we started the Airport lease process.

“This is an important point for the community to know.

“In addition to a very positive financial result, the deal will also see Council’s continued involvement in the airport with the contract conditions requiring that Council will be consulted on the master planning and strategic direction of the airport,” Mr Beswick said.

Palisade Investment Director, Mike Reynolds, said they were very excited at the potential of Coffs Harbour Airport. “The Coffs Harbour region has a great deal of potential and we’re really looking forward to becoming an active part of the community, supporting tourism growth and other local industries,” Mr Reynolds said.

“We look forward to building on the expertise of the existing Coffs Harbour Airport team to grow this critical infrastructure asset.”

KPMG Real Estate Advisory acted as the commercial and financial advisor to Coffs Harbour City Council throughout the lease process.

Market engagement included market sounding, global expression of interest, a binding bid phase and

A further report will be brought before Council on a holding structure and governance arrangements for funds received from the lease.

These arrangements will uphold the current Council resolution that no revenue will be directed towards the Cultural and Civic Space project.

Palisade Investment Partners is set to take over airport management in early 2021, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

Once finalised, the lease will be registered and publicly available to view.

COFFS Harbour City Council has secured Palisade Investment Partners as its commercial operating partner for the long-term lease of Coffs Harbour Airport, with the value to the community forecast at almost $500 million over the term of the lease and option.

Palisade Investment Partners, one of Australia’s leading regional airport investors has entered into a 50-year lease, with an additional 49-year option, of the Coffs Harbour City Council owned airport.

The agreement includes $81.5 million in fixed payments over an initial period including for the development of the Airport Enterprise Park, a 23-hectare greenfield employment precinct adjacent to the airport.

Council will also receive a share of revenue earned from both the Airport and Enterprise Park, forecast to be in excess of $400 million over the term of the lease and option.

Palisade will be able to take up the 49-year lease extension option subject to a range of legal and commercial requirements being met.

Coffs Harbour City Council General Manager Steve McGrath said he was pleased to have reached such a positive outcome for the community with such an experienced commercial airport operator.

“This deal is great news for the community as this revenue stream will allow the Council to fund strategic community projects into the future.

“This will also allow us to invest in improved services for current and future generations,” he said.

Big Little Tern Season

By Andrew VIVIAN MORE than 25 breeding pairs of endangered Little Terns have laid eggs on the spit within Bongil Bongil National Park, just south of Sawtell Headland.

Andrew Winter, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Acting Area Manager, said that it was great to see a large number of breeding pairs at the Coffs Coast site, following significant declines in their numbers over the past five years.

“We’ve already spotted some little chicks, known as ‘runners’, scuttling about in the dunes on Bongil Beach,” said Mr Winter.

"Following the recent heavy rain, where the little terns had a really rough few days, it's even more important we give them peace, space and a chance to resettle and get back to being fully focussed on their eggs and young ones,” he added.

Mr Winter said while the breeding site has been fenced off and signs have been erected, it is essential

for all park visitors to give the nesting area a wide berth and keep their dogs out of the national park.

“These rare shorebirds lay their eggs straight on top of the beach sand which makes them very vulnerable,” Mr. Winter said.

Little Terns will abandon their chicks and their incubating eggs if repeatedly disturbed by people, vehicles or predatory animals.

“Just a single domestic dog can wreak havoc with these sensitive birds,” said Mr Winter.

“We have unfortunately had two recent seasons on the Bongil Spit devastated by people who have ignored park rules and have let their pet dogs run amok in the breeding area.”

National Park staff are concerned that the halting of international travel will lead to a large increase in domestic national park visitors on the Coffs Coast over the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

Mr Winter said, “Some of our visitors will be first timers who may not be aware of the sensitive and important breeding event occurring on the Bongil Spit.”

q “We’re asking all of our local supporters to keep an eye out for our special little tern site, help educate our summer tourists about appropriate behaviour in Bongil Bongil

A ‘runner’ Photo: Anna Lloyd – NPWS. and help to ensure this breeding event is a success,” he continued.

The little tern breeding season is expected to conclude in February, after which the parent birds and

their new offspring will begin a journey of over 6,000 kilometres as part of their annual migration to the northern hemisphere.

Bats Health Warning

q Public health vigilance has resulted in no Lyssavirus notifications among NSW residents in the past four years.

By Sandra MOON NORTH Coast NSW residents, especially those living near bat colonies, are reminded to avoid handling or touching injured or dead flying-foxes and microbats.

According to the Bellingen Shire Council website the Bellingen Shire is home to five active flying-fox camps; two are within walking distance of the township, Bellingen Island camp and Bellingen Community Gardens camp.

As we come into summer, these and other bats can be more active.

Large numbers of bat deaths usually occur following heat waves, or when they are unable to find enough food.

Bats can carry a number of viruses, including Australian Bat Lyssavirus that can be very dangerous to humans if bitten or scratched.

North Coast Public Health Unit Director Paul Corben said if you find an injured or distressed flying fox or microbat, do not attempt to handle it yourself.

“You may put yourself at risk, and also cause more

harm to the bat.

“So call your local authorised wildlife rehabilitation group or a local veterinarian,” Mr Corben said.

“If you must touch a dead bat, avoid directly handling it.

“Use a shovel or other implement and wear thick gloves to pick up the dead bat and dispose of its body by deep burial.

“You should only handle flying foxes or microbats if you have been trained by a reputable wildlife organisation, vaccinated against Lyssaviruses and

use appropriate protective equipment,” Mr Corben said.

The health advice is if you or your children are bitten or scratched by a flying fox or microbat you should wash the wound immediately with soap and water, apply an antiseptic such as povidoneiodine and consult a doctor straight away.

If you do happen to get bitten or scratched by a bat or flying fox NSW Health provides post-exposure treatment and vaccinations for people in NSW in addition to the recommended wound care process.

Steps remain prior to bypass construction

By Brad GREENSHIELDS

THE first sod may have been turned on the Coffs Harbour Bypass but there’s still some issues to overcome before the heavy machinery is allowed to roll in.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said some key milestones need to be reached before work on the bypass begins in earnest.

Those issues include completing the tender process.

“Early next year we’ll be going out and then we’ll be announcing who the successful tender will be for the project and again, I’ll be back here in Coffs Harbour next year announcing the next phase of this important project,” Mr Toole said when he was in Coffs Harbour for the sod turning.

The Minister offered a couple of timelines, revealing it will be five years until the project is completed and open to traffic as well as when Coffs Harbour is likely to see heavy machinery first used.

“There’s still a lot of work that has to take place but it will probably be around 12 months before you start to see some of that heavy work occurring which is important

for this project,” he said.

The immediate work on the project includes knocking down a house on Bruxner Park Road before building a new station on the site for the Solitary Rural Fire Brigade.

“We’re going to see door knocking taking place, door knocking to see some of those noise assessments occurring on some of the homes that are going to be alongside the bypass,” the Minister added.

“We’re going to see demolition of acquired properties.

“And we’re going to be going out for tender in the next few days for the work that’s required to move those

utilities.

“That means underground power supply, moving some of those power lines which are part of this project.”

The acquisition of some properties along the route have still not been completed but Mr Toole is confident that will happen and that other properties affected by the bypass will have their needs met.

“There’s about 600 properties that will be impacted by noise. Obviously we’re going to be doing a lot of work with those properties themselves,” he said.

“There are 151 properties (in total) that either have to be acquired or partly acquired.

We are still working through those properties.”

Bridging the healthcare chasm

By Andrew VIVIAN MOST of us take for granted activities such as obtaining medication, going shopping or getting a haircut.

However, as Luisa Eckhardt from Frankly Health Care Association Incorporated says, “Filling out a form can often be too much when your day is consumed by finding something to eat and somewhere safe to sleep.”

Greens Weigh In On Blueberry Wages

By Andrew VIVIAN

LAST week, News Of The Area reported on the McKell Institute’s Blue Harvest report which detailed widespread exploitation of berry pickers, particularly people on the Working Holiday Maker Visa.

The report especially highlighted unscrupulous and often illegal behaviour by labour hire firms.

David Shoebridge, Greens Legislative Council MP, is pushing for the existing

CHH

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Parliamentary Inquiry into the Future of Work, of which he is a member, to consider the blueberry industry explicitly in its hearings in early 2021.

Jonathan Cassell, convener for the Coffs Harbour Greens, notes that the Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh, has called for a National Licencing Scheme to provide potential protection for berry workers, but Mr Cassell is concerned this will not go far enough to stop exploitation.

Mr Cassell said, “The

horticulture sector is recognised as an anchor to our region’s economic health, and we are concerned that this decision has been rushed and is an ad hoc approach to deeper issues within the industry.”

He has called on Mr Singh to support the NSW parliamentary inquiry directly reviewing the sector.

“The Coffs Harbour blueberry industry has been singled out for several years for serious allegations of

wage-theft,” he said.

Mr Cassell went on to say, “Back in 2017, the Migrant Worker Taskforce found that 400,000 workers had been underpaid with most of those in the horticulture sector and now, with the release of the McKell Institute’s report, we again see the scale of the problem.

“When one in seven workers earns $5 or less in New South Wales then we need to review how state and federal laws are failing the

very workers farmers need to pick the food we all eat,” he continued.

The Greens are concerned that the industry’s long term future has not yet been secured nor the workforce adequately protected.

According to Mr Cassell, “The blueberry industry, for all its environmental and social problems, has become an anchor industry for our region.

“What is becoming clear is the industry is looking more like it’s in crisis than in good health and has been struggling with self-regulation

arranging transport can be very difficult for them.

It is also very helpful that Pete’s Place is very different to a doctor’s waiting room.

Dr Partridge’s medical students sometimes attend and find the different style of medicine interesting and fulfilling.

Ms Eckhardt said that they deliver a ‘trauma-informed’ service to those who need it by having a solid understanding of how trauma can affect lifestyles.

During treatment or assistance conversations with clients often indicate underlying issues and what further assistance might be needed.

“They are the experts on what they need,” Ms Eckhardt said. over many years, so a deeper review is needed to make sure the industry has a secure and sustainable future,” he said.

Mr Shoebridge, who is a member of the Future of Work Inquiry, said, “Insecure and exploitative work practices must not become the new normal in any industry.

“I firmly believe that the blueberry industry must be put under close scrutiny and we need to find a place so that the workers can speak out.

“The best place for this to happen, with the greatest protections, is a parliamentary inquiry,” Mr Shoebridge said.

Traffic concerns dismissed as Coffs Harbour Nursery DA approved

By Emma DARBIN

MUCH debate ensued over proposed changes to Coffs Harbour Nursery when the matter was brought up for a second time at Coffs Harbour City Council’s recent meeting.

The nursery is located on the corner of Solitary Islands Way and Wakelands Road at Sapphire Beach, and the development application is for a plant nursery (additions), landscaping material supplies and a new cafe.

Council deferred consideration of the development application at its meeting on 27 August, pending Council completing a comprehensive investigation into the feasibility of using Solitary Islands Way instead of Wakelands Road as the primary access for the site.

Council staff found that in accordance with Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan 2015 driveways are to be provided from secondary roads rather than primary roads like Solitary Islands Way, and that the available frontage to Solitary Islands Way was not suitable for an entrance to the site.

“The results from the investigations do not support

a primary access point from Solitary Islands Way”, a Council report stated.

Council originally approved a plant nursery on the site in January 2018, with the site to be used for growing plants with no sales to the general public, however additions to the site since then have not been officially approved by Council.

A Council report on the recent development application stated “there are a number of currently unauthorised activities occurring on site which the subject development application, in part, seeks to address.”

Cr George Cecato recommended councillors approve the development application at Council’s recent meeting and said the applicant, Casa Koala Pty Ltd, had made major changes to the site entry including a turning lane and a sealed road to alleviate councillor and neighbour concerns since Council last assessed the DA. “We deferred this DA originally because we were concerned about the traffic issues,” Cr Cecato said.

“The applicant has come a long way to satisfy all our

Wednesday, 23 December, 2020

requirements, it’s an excellent development.

“This is a business that has grown in the midst of a world pandemic and we are crucifying them because they have grown.”

Cr Sally Townley spoke against the proposal due to her continued concerns over traffic in the area.

“Noone is crucifying anyone, there were significant valid reasonable public objections to do with traffic safety, nobody is being crucified,” Cr Townley stressed.

“There’s a lot about this business that is to be recommended, but this is an entrance on a fairly small quiet rural road.

“When we talked about this last time, we all went out there and had a look and agreed that there’s a real issue here, you’ve got this quiet rural road and you’ve got semi trailers going in, you've got huge amounts of weekend traffic, you've got school kids, school buses.”

Cr Townley felt placing an entrance to the business along Solitary Islands Way with a 60km per hour speed limit in place was a “feasible option”.

“There was no examination of a scenario where the speed limit was 60 kms, so I don’t

think we can really make that decision in its current form without first actually reviewing that scenario,” Cr Townley said.

Cr Townley said the business was approved three years ago only for a plant nursery.

“Under the standard instrument, landscaping material supplies is a completely separate land use and requires a separate consent to a plant nursery so they're basically operating the whole landscape business without consent,” Cr Townley said.

“I get that this DA is trying to go some way towards legitimising it, but if it keeps experiencing growth at this level and there is no control already.”

Cr Tegan Swan agreed with Cr Townley that the business entrance needed to be off Solitary Islands Way. “We all went out on site, we were all very open to consideration of access off Solitary Islands Way,” Cr Swan said.

“We did specifically look at the speed reduction as an option.

“I really do believe that it’s not suitable to move forward with this approval with the Wakelands entry, please can we go back to the drawing board and reconsider Solitary

Islands Way?” Cr Swan asked at the meeting why the 60km per hour speed limit reduction along Solitary Islands Way was not incorporated into Council's assessment of the development application.

Council staff stated that there were alot of other reasons why traffic access to the business was not suitable along Solitary Islands Way. Cr Michael Adendorff called on fellow councillors to approve the development application, and said Council staff had already assessed traffic issues in the area.

“The traffic issues have been considered by the staff, and the staff have approved the traffic proposal,” Cr Adendorff said.

“This development is clearly a much needed development,

it’s a successful thriving business because the larger community use it and enjoy it.”

Councillors resolved at Council’s meeting on 10 December to approve the development application for a plant nursery, landscaping material supplies and cafe.

Cr Denise Knight, Cr Michael Adendorff, Cr Paul Amos, Cr George Cecato and Cr Keith Rhoades voted in favour of the development application and Cr John Arkan, Cr Tegan Swan and Cr Sally Townley voted against it.

The nursery, landscaping material supplies and cafe will operate from 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday.

Council seeks Airport Enterprise Park rezoning

By Emma DARBIN WITH the new lessee of Coffs Harbour Airport and the length of the lease now public knowledge, Coffs Harbour City Council is seeking to rezone the nearby Airport Enterprise Park to attract industrial and high-tech businesses into the area.

Council is currently constructing the approved 98 lot subdivision at Coffs Harbour Airport.

The subdivision application was approved by the Joint Regional Planning Panel in 2017, and will deliver a 43-hectare subdivision yielding 23 hectares of leasable land.

Airport Enterprise Park is currently zoned SP1 Special Activity (Air Transport Facility) under the Coffs Harbour Local Environment Plan 2013 (LEP), and land uses are constrained to airport operations and aviation related uses.

Council is now seeking to lodge a Proponent Led Planning Proposal (PLPP) to request an amendment to the LEP for the subdivision, to rezone the site to allow for further land uses.

The PLPP seeks to create three distinct and well defined zones within the Airport Enterprise Park (AEP) including retaining areas of SP1 zoning, as well as creating a B5 (Business Development) precinct and an IN1 (General Industrial) precinct.

“The current SP1 zoning over the entire subdivision creates limitations on the types

q The rezoning of Airport Enterprise Park to include industrial and business development is being sought

of businesses that can establish within the AEP,” a Council report on the rezoning stated.

“A successful rezoning of the AEP subdivision will have a positive impact upon the Coffs Harbour community by providing a greater range of business opportunities within the subdivision and enhance its attractiveness to new business to the region.”

The Northern Regional Planning Panel have been delegated by Council to be the Planning Proposal Authority for the rezoning of the Airport Enterprise Park to resolve Council’s conflict of interest in being both the developer of the Park and the regulatory authority, in relation to the development of the subdivision.

Cr George Cecato said at Council’s latest

meeting on Thursday 10 December the rezoning was needed to ensure that Council attracts a “wider suitability of business”.

“We need to complement the SP1 zoning with additional permissible uses,” Cr Cecato said.

“Long ago we seeked and we got conditional approval by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment; there will be three distinct and well defined zones and our legal advice has been that we remove ourselves.

“Rather than us assessing the planning proposal we delegate that authority to the Minister and we suggest that they appoint the Northern Regional Planning Panel.”

Cr Sally Townley was one of several councillors to express concern over the proposed

rezoning.

“If this rezoning proposal is eventually successful I would assume that land would have a much higher market value so I just wonder how we feel about that in view of the fact that we just made arrangements for the lease at a market value of the existing zoning,” Cr Townley asked Council staff at the recent meeting.

Coffs Harbour City Council general manager Steve McGrath said the potential Airport Enterprise Park rezoning formed part of the Airport lease negotiations.

“That was all part of the negotiations, and the values that were attributed were based on achieving a certain zoning outcome along the line and that’s why the proposal in a draft form was shared with the lessee,” Mr McGrath said.

“It has been factored into.”

Mr McGrath said the vision was for high-tech businesses to take up space within the Airport Enterprise Park.

“They’re the sort of businesses that we want to attract to assist the City in its growth,” he confirmed.

“Employment generation activities is the primary purpose of the Airport Enterprise Park zone.”

Cr Paul Amos and Cr Michael Adendorff questioned what businesses were permissible in a B5 Business Development zone.

“I’m thinking that the composition of this Enterprise Park needs more scrutiny because it sounds like we can have a car yard sitting at an entry to our City,” Cr Amos said.

“What we see here now is an Enterprise Park, just with those very words people are not thinking car yards.

“I think this needs more thought.”

Council staff stated that under the Coffs Harbour Airport lease arrangement Council has retained responsibility to develop the Airport Enterprise Park.

“It (Council) is the one who has received the grant funds from both the Federal and State Government and it is responsible for filling those grant deeds,” Council staff stated.

“When the Airport Enterprise Park has been developed it will then be the lessees responsibility.”

General manager Steve McGrath confirmed that development applications for businesses within the Airport Enterprise Park will still need to be lodged with Council for approval.

“The only role that the NRPP is being asked to take on in this particular issue is to handle the gateway proposal, the rezoning, once that’s achieved it’s like any other land in Coffs Harbour,” Mr McGrath said.

“Development applications need to be lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council and processed, so Council does have a say through that process ultimately.”

Councillors resolved to request the Minister for Planning to appoint the Northern Regional Planning Panel to be the Planning Proposal Authority for the Proponent Led Planning Proposal-Request to Amend Local Environmental Plan 2013 for the Coffs Harbour Airport Enterprise Park, and amend the lodgement for the Proponent Led Planning Proposal-Request to Amend Local Environmental Plan 2013 for the Coffs Harbour Enterprise Park.

The B5 Business Development zone is for business, warehouse and specialised retail premises uses that require a large floor area such as warehouses or distribution centres, specialised retail premises, hardware and building supplies, landscaping material supplies and garden centres.

The IN1 General Industrial zone caters for businesses like those in the South Coffs Industrial area including agricultural produce, depots, funeral homes, garden centres, general industries, kiosks, landscaping material supplies, light industries, fuel depots, neighbourhood shops, places of public worship, takeaway food, timber yards, vehicle sales etc.

Toormina businesses team up to deliver Christmas cheer

By David TUNE THE Toormina Hotel and Anytime Fitness at Toormina Gardens Shopping Centre have organised a joint ‘Giving Tree’ to support the Wesley Mission with gifts for foster families.

Coffs Harbour Wesley Mission offers several services to young people in the Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, Bowraville and Nambucca regions, including a crisis refuge for youth aged fourteen to seventeen, transitional housing for sixteen to twenty-five year olds and outreach services for

www.newsofthearea.com.au

people between twelve and twenty-five.

Contact Worker for the Mission, Joseph Aklilu decided to reach out to local businesses when pandemic restrictions meant that the usual Christmas gifts would not be possible this year.

Anytime Fitness and the Toormina Hotel have responded with gifts of food and suitable presents donated by staff and members.

Manager of the Toormina Hotel Carl Mower said, “My staff are regular users of the facilities at Anytime Fitness which has been a great help in managing health and wellbeing

during these challenging times, and when they heard about the Giving Tree, they decided to contribute gifts personally and by donating money from tips to purchase food items.”

Anytime Fitness has only been open since September and already has over 600 members.

Manager Kane Gois said, “Both our staff and members have been happy to contribute in these times when many people are struggling, and we are pleased to be able to help and hopefully bring some joy at this time of year.”

Wesley Mission’s Jason Aklilu was overwhelmed by the generosity and told News Of The Area, “I am so impressed with how thoughtful people have been, there are so many

gifts I will need to do a second pick up with a bigger car.”

The gifts will be distributed at a BBQ prior to Christmas

and will support over fifty children in care.

“This project will include pedestrian access, viewing platforms, car parking, seating/picnic shelters, landscaping/revegetation and a fitness node.”

According to Ray Willing, President of the NBRA, Woolgoolga residents have been campaigning for years to develop a scenic Whale Trail that connects Woolgoolga Beach Reserve and the existing headland

coastal walk that is safe for pedestrians and cyclists.

The NBRA and Chamber of Commerce are unhappy that the Council is intending to use some of the grant money to fund footpaths and a carpark rather than the entire ‘Whale Trail’ wanted by the community.

Mr Willing told News Of The Area, “We had the understanding, from meeting with Council staff,

that Council would fund the Pollack Esplanade footpath, but they now say the community has to choose.”

“A footpath is needed, but it is not a Whale Trail,” he said.

The community organisations say that footpaths and car parks are council responsibilities and that the grant money should be used for what the community wants.

They also question the safety aspects of the Council’s plans, and say that, because there is a tight corner at the end of a slope at the corner of Carrington St. and Pollack Esplanade, any walkway should be away from the road.

The Council’s ‘Have your say’ website has a section for consultation about the Whale Trail, but The NBRA and the Chamber of Commerce feel that the registration

requirements might deter some people.

They are urging residents, tourists and those interested in Woolgoolga to contact the council directly by email.

More information can be found by searching for @ nbra2456 on Facebook.

The Coffs Harbour City Council was contacted for comment but did not respond at time of publication.

New Shoreline DA given the green light

By Emma DARBIN

PROPOSED changes to The Shoreline seniors housing complex at York Street, Coffs Harbour have been approved

by Coffs Harbour City Council, with height limits within the development given the okay to be increased.

The new development application proposes to redesign Bachrach Naumburger Group’s already approved Building A/B into two distinct buildings, reducing the number of independent living units by fourteen from 183 to 169 dwellings.

The new proposal is for seniors housing comprising 57 self-contained dwellings in the form of independent living units within an 11 storey Building B, and landscaping at podium level dwelling courtyards.

Building B has an increased height limit of 38.81 metres, compared to the already approved Building A/B height of 29.27 metres, and the cost of the works is estimated at $28,460,000.

A recent development application for Buildings A and B was refused by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (Northern Region) on 30 September, 2020.

The development application was reported

q Proposed alterations to future buildings at The Shoreline seniors housing complex, which will see height limits increased, have been approved by Coffs Harbour City Council. Photo: Emma Darbin.

to Council for determination because it proposes to vary a development standard in the Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 by more than 10%, and has received significant public interest and community input following public advertising and public notification (119 submissions).

All of the public submissions supported the proposed development amendments.

A Council report on the altered development application stated ‘the revised building height will provide for a more compact building form that is more efficient for access for residents’.

“The non-compliance

of height of the proposed development does not of itself defeat the purpose of the development to provide for the housing needs of the community, in the form of seniors housing,” the report stated.

“The proposal is better at meeting the housing needs of the community than the original proposal.”

The redesign of Building B as a separate building is primarily due to the long corridors that residents would need to walk if Building A/B under the original consent was developed, including a 62 metre long internal corridor.

Skateboarding from Melbourne to Cairns all for a good cause

By Miles PROUST IT’S a journey unlike any other - Melbourne to Cairns on a skateboard - and a mission Tom Drury, aka Gordy Fruito wants to be the first to complete.

The mammoth 3600 km ride is for a good cause, with Mr Fruito raising money to build a skatepark in Laos the only country in South East Asia without one.

The 28-year-old from Broken Hill was inspired to make the trip after living in Laos where he worked as a tour guide and English teacher.

“I was there for three or four years and when I first went there ten years ago skateboarding was just being introduced and over time and since I’ve been back it's just getting bigger and bigger,” he said.

“There’s a really big culture but nowhere for them to skate, they just skate on the street, temples and in car parks.”

Mr Fruito has already completed the first leg of the journey, from Melbourne to Sydney, in less than a month and he hopes to arrive in Cairns by mid-March or early April.

buildings also offers residents a wider housing choice with three bedroom apartments on all accommodation floors in Building B, while no three bedroom apartments were proposed in Building A/B. Bachrach Naumburger Group general manager Steve Gooley spoke at Council’s latest meeting on Thursday 10 December and urged councillors to approve the amended development application.

“We’ve significantly improved the accessibility for residents that will live in The Shoreline from what we currently have approved,” Mr Gooley said.

Taking the coastal route via the Princes Highway, Mr Fruito averaged 60 to 70 km a day, skating from 7am to 5pm and couch surfing along the way.

“This whole trip is funded by me and my biggest expense is accommodation, so I’ve been pretty blessed with people putting me up,” he said.

Mr Fruito is hoping to raise $25,000 to build the skatepark, working with Make Life Skate Life, a non-forprofit organisation that has already built ten skateparks in developing countries around

the world.

“Skateboarding has always been a big part of my life and I’ve been skating since I was young. It’s a creative outlet, it’s good exercise and it’s got a great culture,” said Mr Fruito.

Mr Fruito expects to make it to this part of the world by early to mid January and you can offer him a place to stay by contacting his social media at www.facebook.com/gordy. aboard/.

go higher’.

“This particular development is a very unique development, it’s a very unique parcel of land.”

Cr Paul Amos also supported the changes that had been made to the original development application.

“I will be supporting this particular project because there has been no objections,” Cr Amos said.

“I can see where it’s positioned there is some greater good for the community that comes with that breach, and it does no harm.”

The main areas of redesign include greater extension of the podium, separating Building B into a distinct building of increased height, undercover secure parking, reduced resident travel distances within the building, improved landscape on the podium, reduced building bulk and mass, and increased view opportunities.

Councillors voted unanimously in favour of supporting the request to vary a development standard under Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 for the variation to the height of buildings, and approve the development application for seniors housing (57 selfcontained dwellings) at York Street, Coffs Harbour.

for itself; the best results in reading for our students occurs when phonics is explicitly and systematically taught in Year 1 before moving on to other forms of reading instruction,” Ms Mitchell said.

“Using phonics to build strong reading foundations in the early years of school opens doors to success later in life.”

A popular phonics program used by many schools in Kindergarten to teach students how to read is the Jolly Phonics program, which uses actions for each of the 42 letter sounds to make learning new letters and learning to read fun for students.

This year 520 NSW Government primary schools

joined a trial of the Phonics screening check, with 23,975 Year One students participating.

“Tools like the phonics check are providing teachers with the data they need to provide targeted support to students who need it most,” Ms Mitchell said.

“Because phonics is an efficient tool to teach reading, and the check is an effective way to identify gaps, schools will also be set phonics check targets.

“A phonics target means that the ability to teach reading successfully becomes a measurable responsibility for our teachers and principals.”

q Gordy has already completed 1200 kms of the journey, following the coast from Melbourne to Sydney.

“We have significantly reduced the density and the building mass on the site and we have significantly increased the common use spaces.

“Improved densities and increased heights should be encouraged in this precinct.”

Mr Gooley said that current development of The Shoreline is progressing ahead of plan.

“It is our intention to progress immediately on Stages Three and Four, should this DA be approved tonight,” Mr Gooley said.

“I truly think that this development will be a great catalyst for the successful implementation of Council’s endorsed ‘Compact City’ plans.

“My company is enormously proud of what we are creating at Shoreline; we have been developing and managing property in Coffs Harbour for over 50 years and we really look forward to continuing with what is a truly unique and excellent development.”

Cr George Cecato agreed that the new amended development application was an improvement on the original approved DA. “Yes, they’re asking to increase the height of the tower by three floors of what is already approved, but what they’ve got approval for is very bulky,” Cr Cecato said.

“What they are saying is ‘let’s reduce the bulk and let’s

PRIMARY school students in public schools will be taught to read using phonics, under new compulsory phonics education regulations announced by the NSW Department of Education on 30 November.

The teaching of reading using phonics will be a compulsory part of the classroom from 2021 onwards, and all Year One students will be required to undergo a compulsory phonics check from 2021.

NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the evidence of phonics effectiveness was undeniable.

As well as a fresh new look and design, the recently refurbished Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour ‘branch of the future’ also boasts a dedicated Retail Pop-Up Space - prominently positioned at the front of the bank - in which local businesses and creatives can showcase their work, in a high exposure retail setting.

Throughout the month of December, Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour has hosted a series of Christmas retail popups - weekdays from 9.30am-

5.00pm, which will run until Christmas Eve - to showcase locally-made pottery, resin accessories, laser cut homewares and children’s clothing.

Since reopening as a new ‘branch of the future’ in July, the Bank has already hosted more than 12 local microbusinesses in its Retail Pop-Up Space and is fully booked until mid-February 2021.

WOULDN’T it be great if our dreams came true?

Here in this area, we have in the last couple of years had a brand new Fire Station built on the corner of Sawtell Road and Hogbin Drive, wonderful.

Now almost finished is a brand new Ambulance Station being built next door to the Fire Station, how fantastic for this area.

BUT wouldn't it be just great to also have a Police Station built next door, so all three services are all in one place next to each other?

This area is in most need of a Police station as now that Sawtell has long been closed down, our nearest is Urunga or Coffs Harbour.

This area is growing rapidly and the crime rate is increasing, we definitely need a local Police Station again in this area.

Inspired by Captain Bligh’s infamous mutiny, where he and his remaining loyal crew rowed a 23-foot launch around 5000 km to Kupang, West Timor, the escapees rowed their way northward along Australia’s coastline.

Intending to reach Batavia (now Jakarta), this journey was well planned.

They hoarded food; included companions who had carpentry and navigational skills; bought navigational equipment from a foreign trading vessel; and timed their departure on a dark night when no ships were in port to give chase.

They stopped occasionally to collect water and food or to repair leaks in the boat,

They also stopped at Coffs Harbour describing the harbour as ‘superior excellence and capacity’.

Initially they landed on the shore and began repairing the seams of the boat with tallow, however they were continually harassed by the ‘indians’, so retreated to ‘a small island in the harbour’ to finish their repairs.

Despite rough weather and being chased

by Indigenous people, they crossed the Gulf of Carpentaria, then the Arafura and Timor seas, to arrive at Kupang in West Timor (now Indonesia) with no deaths among them.

We are the parents of teenage children which, as you know, means they want very little to do with us. That's not the problem. The problem is we have friends with four young children who also happen to be feral. They come over and terrorise our pets (and us).

The parents seem oblivious. How do we deal with this?

Henry and June W. Oh, Henry and June, WHEN you say they are feral, do you mean they are a bit loud and boisterous, or do you mean they are the type of kids who are liable to set your cat on fire if you turn away for a few moments.

Regardless, I can hear them now, racing around your precariously arranged garden ornaments, squealing like stuck pigs, using your rake, gardening shears and garden hose to truss each other up and inflict corporal punishment because their parents let them watch Vikings instead of Play School and so on. What tends to happen in these situations is the menfolk retreat to the shed to have a much-needed beer, and you get stuck with the little treasures, dividing your time between averting medical emergencies and hiding in the bathroom to pop a sedative or two.

Look, you have paid your penance for procreating, and now it's time to revel in the fact that your kids wake up after you and then slink off, grunting occasionally and chiming in when they smell dinner.

Life is calm, and you don't need to have it disrupted by these wild juvenile miscreants. May I suggest a lock on your gate, or perhaps one of those special monitors that requires a password for entry. Alternatively, always arrange to meet at their house. That way you can determine when you've had enough and leave. It's not up to you to have to discipline someone else's offspring. If the parents can't do it, maybe you need to set them free along with the free spirits they've brought into the world.

Find some new friends with children of a similar age to yours.

From the Mayor’s desk

By Cr Dominic KING (Mayor) Bellingen Shire Council

Long and challenging year FIRSTLY, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everybody in our community, and our regional neighbours as well, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year after what has been a long and challenging year for us all.

And what a year it has been! Just when we thought we’d seen the back of this year’s drought, fires and floods, our Shire floods again and only one week earlier, we were on Level 2 Water Restrictions, so it’s amazing what a difference a couple of days can make.

It’s also been a very busy year that has presented lots of challenges for everyone including our volunteers, community groups and the many people in our community who have worked behind the scenes to support them through some tough times.

Our community has also been working hard as they’ve been creating social networks amongst their families, friends and neighbours to help protect our wellbeing and keep our spirits up throughout the range of difficult challenges we’ve all faced.

That’s why I encourage you all to take advantage of what has been a rare opportunity this year to stop, rest and spend some quality time with your family, friends and neighbours enjoying the things that matter the most in life, because you’ve all earnt a break.

I know I’ll be doing the same after what has been one of the more challenging years I can remember, and I look forward to working with you to make the most of the opportunities the New Year will bring to make our Shire’s community even more connected, sustainable, and creative.

Stay safe and happy. Cheers, Dom.

Disaster Dashboard Delivers Local Emergency Information

By Cr Dominic King Mayor WITH minor to moderate flood warnings currently issued across our Shire and the Mid North Coast, our own local online Disaster Dashboard could not have come at a better time because we can now all easily access live emergency data and updates during local floods, bushfires and disasters.

Bellingen Council Mayor, Cr Dominic King said our Shire’s new Emergency Dashboard went live online for the first time on Thursday 10 December, which was very timely given that Weatherzone’s worst-case scenario rainfall predictions forecast up to 320mm between this Friday and Monday.

“That’s why we’ve been working as a member council of the Mid North Coast Joint Organisation with Resilience NSW to develop a new on-line Disaster Dashboard that will provide real-time information to help our community be aware of, prepare for and respond to local emergencies.

“Our Shire’s Disaster Dashboard is an online information warehouse where you access real-time information related to live emergencies, information to help you prepare for an emergency and advice on the types of assistance you can access to recover from an emergency.”

Cr King said our community had become acutely aware of the impact emergencies

can have given the current COVID-19 Pandemic and the recent drought, bush fires and floods.

“We are a resilient and prepared community that can deal with the challenges that past, current and future disasters will present us, and our Get Ready for Bushfire videos and online Disaster Dashboard will help us stay informed and aware of how to respond to local emergencies.”

To access our Shire’s Disaster Dashboard, simply go to Bellingen Shire Council’s website at www.bellingen.nsw.gov. au and click on the Disaster Dashboard link prominently located on the website’s Home Page.

Responding to the ‘lies’ in Brigit Mackenzie’s ad DEAR News Of The Area,

up.

A RESPONSE to Brigit Mackenzie’s advertisement in News Of The Area on December 11.

The title of the ad says it all.

The lies are directly contained in the statements in the actual ad.

Firstly how can the Cultural and Civic Space be a vote of confidence when it's been rammed through by the Mayor's casting vote.

That’s not democracy but a blatant misuse of power.

BUDGET When does a project of this magnitude ever go to budget?

It's our Council, meaning that our rates pay for most of the outgoings and it needs majority approval.

RATES It’s inconceivable that rates will not go

Another blatantly outrageous statement.

Rates are going up every year without the wasteful spend of $76m.

Borrowing makes sense rather than the selling of assets, for example the airport.

But how to spend them is the issue.

Building a Taj Mahal for the council is very selfish and misguided.

RE CONSULTATION The project has always been known as the Coffs Cultural and Civic Space.

There is no mention of council chambers!

Another deception!

In my day a Civic Space was a Town Hall.

And that’s how the dishonest Council got it through public consultation quietly and were able to tick the box on that issue.

Never mind the uproar of 15000 signatures and some 800 objections to the DA.

The Spider’s Gift A Christmas Poem

By Barbara GILKES

THE donkey stopped by the stable door, the star beamed bright above, the gentle maid sank on fresh, sweet sweet straw and gave birth to her own, dear love.

Then she wrapped Him tight in swaddling cloths and places Him where cattle fed; for the town had no room for her infant son, so a manger served as His bed.

The spider scurried across the floor,

and picked its way up the wall, and settled itself in a comfy niche right over the cattle stall.

It gazed in awe as three great men - rich eastern clothes, they wore came in, and worshipped the tiny babe and offered the presents they bore.

The Child-King slept, the young mother too, the father watched over the pair; the spider visualised it could give, then worked on its present, rare.

It was a wondrous, intricate, delicate thing made of finest, silken strands;

CITY HILL The arguments for City Hill are really not relevant here, it's really back to the basic principles of our democracy.

The election in September would have resolved the issue once and for all and the will of the people would have prevailed, as it should have.

Council in its wisdom allowed the Plaza to become the Shopping Centre of Coffs, the CBD needs to reinvent itself to become the commercial centre of Coffs and City Hill should become the cultural centre of Coffs Harbour.

There should be an election or referendum to ascertain the majority wishes.

If it can be shown 51% are in favour, then I certainly would accept it.

There is really only one honest solution.

Hold a referendum via the rate notices which are sent out every quarter or pause it till the next election.

Regards, George PARTOS. - a pattern the world had ne'er seen before designed by immortal hands.

The baby woke to a golden dawn though never uttered a cry, but focused His eyes on the sun-kissed web stretched out across beams, up high.

You see It isn't the really expensive gifts of the gold and silver kind, nor the jewels from Earth's Treasure Chest that The Father has in mind: but rather, the simple joys of of life taken from Creation's Store that please the eye, and warm the heart, and bring Gods peace, for evermore.

So the next time you find a wild creature's home don't sweep it away with a broom; it's likely the Christ-Child's first delight was work from a spider's loom....

Generous Donations For Kids

By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour businessman, Andrew MacLeod, from MacLeod's Furniture Court is keen to make sure that kids in the region have something special for Christmas this year.

He donated over $5000 in gift cards to members of the Coffs Harbour Conference of St Vincent de Paul Society.

“These gift cards will go into re-vamped Christmas hampers,” explained Leon Walsh, President of the St Vincent de Paul Society Conference.

“Andrew MacLeod has donated over the last few years and has been a big supporter of the local Vinnies group,” said Mr Walsh.

With COVID safety in mind there were restrictions placed on donations needing to be stored for three days and storage space became an issue.

Mr Walsh explained, “Due to COVID we have had to rethink our usual process this year.

“We have had to ask for gift cards from donors instead of the usual food and gift items.”

Cecily Foley Regional President and conference member Phil Hartmann are organising and coordinating the Vinnies Christmas Appeal.

“Local volunteers have started putting hampers together.

“They consist of food cards and these gift cards,” said Mr Walsh.

“Mr MacLeod was intent on the items being for children and has been very generous.”

The local Vinnies Christmas Appeal is almost at the distribution stage to deliver hampers to invited families who have been to Vinnies for assistance in the last year or so.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said residents with damaged homes or belongings after this week’s significant rainfall and councils with damaged public assets should access assistance.

“Disaster assistance is now available in a range of storm and flood affected New South Wales local government areas, including all five council areas across Cowper,” he said.

“Some residents have had a difficult time this week due to flash flooding and severe winds and I know councils are counting the cost of the cleanup bill and damage to roads and bridges.

“Assistance is now available and I encourage anyone who has suffered the

loss of a home or belongings or damage to a business premise to contact the Disaster Welfare Assistance Line on 1800 018 444 and see if you are eligible.”

Disaster assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Assistance available under the DRFA may include the following.

- help for eligible people whose homes or belongings have been damaged - in-kind assistance such as emergency accommodation, food hampers or small cash payments to purchase essential items, as well as grants to replace essential household contents or repair structural damage to homes - support for affected local councils to help with the costs of cleaning up and restoring damaged essential public assets - concessional interest rate loans for small businesses,

“On the other hand, Federal MP for Aston in Victoria said without sufficient English language skills, migrants are particularly vulnerable to family violence and other exploitation because they are less likely to know how and where to seek assistance.”

COVID-19, the government’s decision to wind back income support payments, unprecedented job losses and economic recession, thousands of households, including those impacted by the pandemic, are unsure how they’ll be able to keep the lights on, let alone put presents under the tree this Christmas.

The St Vincent de Paul Society NSW says support is needed more than ever to help struggling Australian families, including many who have previously never needed assistance.

“Thousands of families are experiencing immense hardship and stress in Australia and this has been made worse by COVID-19. For many that pain is only going to intensify at Christmas,” said Jack de Groot, CEO of St Vincent de Paul Society NSW.

requirements for partner visa applicants and their permanent resident sponsors to make reasonable efforts to learn English.

The Department of Home Affairs proposes that new partner visa applicants and permanent resident sponsors are required to have a functional level of English from late 2021.

So, what do potential visa applicants have to do to show functional English?

An example would be the completion of five hundred hours of free English language classes through the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP).

They may also do an

International English Language Test Score (IELTS) exam and achieve an IELTS band 4.5 for functional English.

Ms Armstrong continued, “Based on the announcement, the imposition of this additional requirement remains a potential hurdle to visa applicants and their sponsors (if they are a permanent resident rather than an Australian citizen).

“At the moment, it is not clear whether there will be exemptions for people who hold certain passports from English speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, New Zealand or Ireland.

“Or people who have

Nitty Gritty on Partner Visas Unclear LOCAL registered migration agent Maria Armstrong is hopeful the government’s introduction of English language proficiency on partner visas will help provide further opportunities for migrants to maximise their opportunities in Australia.

“English language proficiency should not be a prior condition when people fall in love,” she told News Of The Area.

“Communities experienced significant losses and disruption due to heavy rainfall and flooding over several days, including road closures, landslips, school closures and in some cases, evacuations,” Mr Elliott said.

“The assistance being announced today will help cover the costs associated with the operational response and repairing damaged essential public assets, such as roads.”

For information on personal hardship and distress assistance, contact the Disaster Welfare Assistance Line on 1800 018 444.

To apply for a concessional loan or grant, contact the NSW Rural Assistance Authority on 1800 678 593 or visit www. raa.nsw.gov.au.

Further information on disaster assistance is available on the Australian Government’s Disaster Assist website at www. disasterassist.gov.au and the NSW emergency information and response website at www. emergency.nsw.gov.au completed a degree, a higher degree, a diploma or a trade certificate in other countries where most classes were in English.”

Most partner visas are a provisional/temporary visa of two years before becoming eligible for a permanent visa.

The English language requirement will have to be met at the time of the granting of the permanent partner visa.

The partner visa application is an expensive and lengthy process.

At the time of writing, the visa application charge is $7,715 and the processing time for an onshore partner visa application is between twenty three to twenty eight months while the offshore partner visa application is between fifteen to nineteen months.

As Christmas Day celebrations draw to a close, when we’re all full of pavlova, pudding and punch, there’s not much else to do but flop down on the couch and enjoy a star-studded charity spectacular. Comedian Jason Manford (pictured) presents this year’s extravaganza, filmed earlier this year at the Blackpool Opera House, which includes performances

by Take That’s Gary Barlow, soul singer Celeste and Spice Girl Mel C. In what’s sure to be one of the night’s highlights, Michael Ball will be joined by 100-year-old Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised £33 million for the NHS with his charity walk in April, to perform

In the darkest corner of a fledgling 1860s Manhattan, Bill the Butcher rules the roost.

He is a mean piece of work in every sense and Daniel Day-Lewis plays him to perfection. What Bill doesn’t know is that his sworn but secret young enemy Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio) is right under his nose. In a Hamlet-like twist, Amsterdam’s vow to avenge the murder of his father 16 years earlier is complicated by romance with a pickpocket (Cameron Diaz, above.) and his paternal ties with Bill.

Martin Scorsese pulls back the curtain on a blood-stained period of America’s past to reveal an utterly fascinating saga.

Christopher Nolan directed this electrifying Victorianera thriller which examines the rivalry between two illusionists. Rupert Angier (Hugh Jackman, above) is a skilled magician who exists in the shadow of fellow conjurer Alfred Borden (Christian Bale). The unease is elevated when Borden pulls off a mind-bending trick.

Enraged, Angier obsesses with exposing Borden as a fraud by deploying his assistant (Scarlett Johansson) to spy on him. Jackman and Bale are excellent, and there’s support from Michael Caine and David Bowie.

Yuel impresses in Coffs Harbour

By David WIGLEY VALENTINO Yuel signed a two year deal with the Newcastle Jets after impressing in pre-season.

The former Western United attacker fell out of favour with coach Marc Rudan, but looks reinvigorated at the Jets with impressive pre-season performances against A-League opposition.

Making his mark after just 15 minutes in the trial match against Macarthur

FC, Yuel breezed past former Socceroo captain Mark Milligan to open the scoring.

Yuel then backed up with an impressive display against the Brisbane Roar at C.ex Stadium in Coffs Harbour where he played in a wider role, tormenting the Roar backline with his electric pace and football wizardry.

He is sure to become a fan favourite, attacking defenders with an array of step overs and feints, which inspire comparisons to

the Ivory Coast’s livewire forward Wilfried Zaha.

And the similarities don’t end there.

It was a change of club to wear the blue and red of Crystal Palace that turned around Zaha’s career, turning him into one of the most prominent attackers in the English Premier League.

After his performance in Coffs Harbour, Interim Manager Craig Deans and CEO Lawrie McKinna had obviously seen enough and made his trial a permanent fixture with a two year contract.

And based on these performances, the free

Swans and Mapies to fly in Coffs

q Collingwood will meet the Sydney Swans in an AFL Community Series match in Coffs Harbour.

Photo: AFL Photos

By Brad GREENSHIELDS THE redevelopment of the C.ex Coffs International Stadium has been given another tick of approval.

This time by the AFL. Having already been selected as a venue for an NRL match to be played in May, the AFL has fixtured a Community Series pre-season match to be played in Coffs Harbour.

The match will be an under lights affair between the Sydney Swans and Collingwood to be played on Wednesday, 3 March.

This will be the first AFL pre-

season match played in Coffs Harbour since the Sydney Swans faced North Melbourne in 2017.

For the Sydney Swans, regular visitors to the Coffs Coast, this contest will be the first pre-season game the club will be playing in Coffs Harbour since the stadium was upgraded.

Sydney Swans executive general manager of football Charlie Gardiner said the team is excited to be playing there.

"We’ve been travelling to Coffs Harbour for a number of years now and it’s a genuine highlight of our pre-season. The community is always

extremely welcoming," Gardiner said.

"Our team has been fortunate to play a number of pre-season games in Coffs Harbour and we have enjoyed packed crowds on each occasion, so we’re looking forward to getting back up there."

Collingwood’s interim general manager of football, Marcus Wagner, expressed similar sentiments.

“We’re thrilled to head up the coast to Coffs Harbour for the 2021 AFL Community Series,” Wagner said.

“It’s a great opportunity for our fans in New South Wales to see the

team in action and we expect a good hit out with the Swans.”

As Coffs Harbour City Council’s section leader for Stadium and Events, Daniel Heather is more than aware of the significance of the AFL returning to the C.ex Coffs International Stadium, revealing the code is a valued stakeholder.

“Their involvement and contribution to the development of the recent upgrades was invaluable, so being able to host this fixture in the venue is great for the Stadium and great for AFL,” Heather said.

The Lions also won the Coastal Premier League’s Reserve Grade, as well as North Coast Football’s men’s third division, men’s over 35’s, and 14 girls titles.

Boambee Bombers The benchmark of local football in recent seasons, the Bombers continued their winning ways taking out the Coastal Premier League Northern Conference, and North Coast Football’s women’s over 30’s, 16 girls, and 17 boys titles.

But in a year that was anything but normal, sporting class still reigned supreme.

Here are the standout clubs of Coffs Harbour sport in 2020.
